According to a new poll of 625 registered Virginia voters, former Vice President Joe Biden is the only Democrat hopeful outperforming President Donald Trump in the Old Dominion, and not by much.
The poll, conducted by Mason Dixon Polling & Strategy, pitted the President against four Democrats seen as the party’s most formidable front runners: US Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and of course former Vice President Joe Biden.
According to the polling data, President Trump is leading Warren 48-44, Sanders 51-45, and Buttigieg 47-45. While Trump trails Biden 49-45, it would seem the President has gained extremely significant ground, as previous polls have reflected as much as a double-digit deficit for Trump when the two candidates are presented head to head.
The Mason Dixon poll carries with it a 4% margin of error, which when factored in, makes any one of these potential 2020 competitions a complete toss-up in a state recently considered a shoo-in for virtually any Democrat nominee.
In addition to being conducted in the midst of unpopular, highly partisan impeachment hearings on Capitol Hill, the poll’s results may have also been influenced by current events taking place in Virginia.
As has been widely reported, with Democrats preparing to take full control of the state legislature later this month, bringing with them promises of New York-style gun control and confiscation bills, Virginians of all stripes have responded.
So far, over 100 municipalities have declared themselves 2nd Amendment sanctuaries, vowing not to cooperate with or enforce unconstitutional gun laws.
The sanctuary movement, which has been described as a “2nd Amendment tsunami,” seems to have mobilized a seismic grassroots coalition statewide, and at this point, is sure to impact the results of the 2020 election as Democrats continue to wear the anti-gun label with pride.
Although Virginia doesn’t register voters by party, 42% of the poll’s respondents self-identified as Democrats, while only 30% identified as Republicans. The remainder called themselves independents.
This, I believe

Loudoun and Prince William are now also full-blown Communists.
Things like that and 8 years of having refugees and other assorted immigrants dumped in the area..........
Nice, however I’m campaigning President Trump like he’s 95% down...
My exact thoughts. How effed up are these people to even consider this pedophile groping kick back taking pos.
When dope is in the ballot the libtards win. When guns are on the ballot we win.
Must be a real nail biter when BOTH are on the ballot!!!

Sooner than later, Quid Pro Joe never makes it to the finish line.
The arrogant senile version won’t either.
Hawaii came under the red flag , today
Overall, look for Trump to waltz back in 2020.
It is the ECONOMY, stupid!
We are our own worst enemy.
blood too...
The Democrats are talking about doing things that even the NOVA types are going to not like.
Like eliminating single-family zoning. How many people sitting on million dollar homes are going to want to risk having a multi-family conversion going in across the street? This is the Democrat plan.
Like wasting time on the Equal Rights Amendment. That issue is expired. It will be a fight over nothing.
Like a $15 minimum wage. This will gut restaurants and local businesses. You only have to peel of 20% of the NOVA base to make the Democrats losers. How many small business owners are there in NOVA?
Normally, I would agree with that right off, but it seems like the Left as become quite something else. Something else like Donald here.
They look like us, but they are not us.
I wonder how out of whack this is compared to the voting population at large. Surely 12 percentage points is too big a spread. If the sampling had been more in line with reality, it might have shown Trump beating everyone.
I agree.
